Aug 26, 2008 <i>A Mes rate: barrel at GBBF.</i><br />Pale yellow and slightly hazy. Rather crude and raw aroma with some off appley notes. A little better in the flavour but it’s really only saved by a hint of freshness in the finish. Sour but not in a particularly good way. Low level of sweetness for a medium. Nothing too special.
